Monitoring my hydroponics
Mike:
I'm really being drawn towards https://www.atlas-scientific.com/peristaltic/ezo-pmp/. Could (in theory at least) use it to pump water, nutrients, and even pH buffer in as needed.

KnuckleBuckett:
Peristaltics are a pain in the ass to calibrate because as the tubing ages the calibration varies. Until failure. Though not used as calibrated devices I deal with quite a few of them. We replace maybe 40 a year and retube 3x that.
Mike:
What are you using them for? At $80 a pop I would like them to last more than a year.
KnuckleBuckett:
Water removal from drying systems. Ours are $400 each.
Mike:
Hmmm, maybe I'll just get one to start with then. I'm not too concerned with precise amounts every time. Though, the nutrients are a two solution mix so it'd be nice of they both dispensed the same amount.
